Applications. Applications are accepted on those levels of study and in those fields of study that are specified in the CFA. II.1.2. Applicants can choose max. one-one programme in max. two different institutions, specifying the priorities of their applications. This order of preference cannot be changed after the submission of the application. II.1.3. According to the Gov. Decree SCY, those applicants are entitled to receive a scholarship who have the verified recommendation which was authorized by The Deputy State Secretariat for the Persecuted Christians, and who sign a scholarship agreement after being awarded the scholarship and who have not yet received a scholarship on that level of studies in the programme. II.1.4. In the case of student applications missing application documents may be submitted beyond the deadline if the documents attesting the required qualifications or language proficiency are not available at the time of the application (e.g. the applicant to the bachelor programme has not yet graduated from secondary school or the applicant to the master programme has not yet received a bachelor degree). The deadline of submitting the missing documents is 1 st August. II.2. The order of the preparation and the announcement of the call for applications II.2.1. The call for student applications is prepared by the unit of Tempus Public Foundation responsible for the Stipendium Hungaricum on the basis of the Government Decree. The call contains the application requirements, the deadline of submitting the applications, the levels and study fields that can be applied for according to the agreements signed with the Sending Partners, the evaluation system, the amount of the scholarship and the obligations of the applicants who receive the scholarship. Consequently, the call for applications is sent to the competent (international and higher education, and responsible for Persecuted Christians) departments of the Ministry of Human Capacities (MHC) for consultation. After taking the opinions into consideration, the finalized call for application is discussed and approved by the Board of Trustees of Tempus Public Foundation. II.2.2. The SiH Unit sends the call for applications to the competent foreign authorities and to the higher education institutions participating in the programme. II.3. The order of the selection procedure II.3.1. Applicants shall submit their applications on the specifically created website online. II.3.2. The SiH Unit forwards the applications received by the application deadline to the Deputy State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians in order to verify the authenticity of the enclosed recommendations from the local Churches. II.3.3. The Deputy State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians prepares the verification of the recommendations by the given deadline and sends it back to the SiH Unit. II.3.4. The SiH Unit contacts the higher education institutions concerned and forwards the documents of students applying for the admission procedure, marking how the students ranked the institutions in their priority list. 5

II.3.5. The institutions check the applications formally and conduct their admission procedures until the specified deadline according to the Act on National Higher Education (ANHE) and their own internal regulations. The final result of the procedure can be accepted", conditionally accepted, rejected or rejected formally. Only those students can be accepted conditionally who cannot present the documents proving their qualifications or language proficiency during the procedure due to other ongoing procedures. II.3.6. The institution is not entitled to charge the applying students any fees for the admission procedure. The institution may finance the costs of the admission procedure from the tuition fees of the students admitted to the programmes. II.3.7 The SiH Unit will allocate the accepted and conditionally accepted students according to the following criteria in the undermentioned sequence: II.3.7.1. In the case of applicants who can be supported, the capacity of the programme must be taken into account on the basis of the institution s previous statement (minimum and maximum capacity). a) Derogation is allowed from the minimum and maximum capacity specified in the institution s application according to the institution s indication. b) During the capacity examination, candidates with the higher ranking must be given priority and the admission exam scores will be decisive in case of equal ranking. c) After the capacity examination, the applicants will be divided into a category of students recommended for support and another category of students to be regrouped due to capacity shortage. II.3.7.2 Applicants who are to be regrouped due to a capacity shortage must be regrouped to the programmes specified as the second preferences in the student applications, if the applicant was admitted there and there is free capacity in that programme. II.3.7.3. If the applicant who is to be regrouped does not even get into the category recommended for support as the second preference, the SiH Unit forwards the application with the admission exam results of the given programme to another similar programme at an institution funded by the programme, if there is free capacity there. II.3.7.4. The application must be rejected, if the applicant who is to be regrouped cannot be given a free place in any of these programmes. This applicant must be replaced by the next nominee in the ranking from the group of students who originally applied beyond the capacities. In this case, the procedures described under points II.3.8.2 to 4 must be followed. II.3.8 If the available funds are insufficient, the list of applicants belonging to the category recommended for support can be restricted according to the ranking of the nominated candidates. II.3.9. SiH Unit summarizes the applicants and presents it to the Board of Trustees of Tempus Public Foundation. The awarding of the scholarships is made by the Minister responsible for (higher) education based on the proposal of the Board of Trustees of Tempus Public Foundation. 6

II.3.10. The SiH Unit informs the Ministry of Human Capacities (MHC) about the proposal of the Board of Trustees, the candidates for scholarship and the host institutions. The list of scholarship holders is sent by the SiH Unit to the Office of Immigration and Nationality, the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the embassies in order to facilitate their entry to Hungary. II.3.11. After the decision on the allocation of students is made, the location of the programme of the applicant can only be changed in justified cases (e.g. the programme is not launched), considering the sequence of applications, the capacity of the programmes and the available funding. If the order of preference cannot be taken into consideration, the original host institution of the scholarship holder may send the applicant to one of its other programmes participating in the programme with the consent of the applicant. The recategorization requires a decision from the SiH Unit. III. Rules applying to scholarship holders III.1.
